To correct this problem, a track-up mode rotates the map as you turn. Thus, what you see on the left side of the screen should always be to your left, and so on.

Another option is course-up mode, which keeps the map at the same orientation as the initial bearing to the waypoint. When either the track-up or course-up mode is on, an "N" shows on the map screen to help you see which direction is north.

To change map orientation: from the Map Page, press MENUto MAP ORIENTATIONENT. Use or to select the desired mode, then press ENT. Press EXITEXIT to return to the page display.

Map Menu, left; Map Orientation menu with

the North Up map orientation option selected, right.

NOTE:

In North Up and Course Up, the present position arrow appears in the center of the map page. In Track Up, the position arrow appears centered in the lower third of the page.

Your unit can display Navionicselectronic charts on MMCs. They work just like a MapCreate custom map on an MMC.

To display a Navionics chart:

You should never format the MMC containing your Navionics chart. Formatting the MMC will permanently erase the chart from the card.
